Any help would be appreciate here! Thanks in advance. Last year in the days following my future Father-in-law's funeral, I was running around helping out the family take care of a lot of things with his vehicle (handicap sticker visible). I ran into a store to grab something for one of his family's members and parked in a handicap spot. When I came back to the vehicle a few minutes later, I was approached and ticketed by either a parking attendant or an officer - I really don't know which. The $450 ticket was presented listing the vehicle's licence plate information and stated that it was for parking in a handicap space while not transporting. The notice was sent to his farm weeks later but we didn't see it until a month or so after the deadline for payment so a trial was requested by default. The trial is next week (just found out after picking up the mail at the farm). I'm wondering if my fiance should attend. He is the executor of the estate. The car has since been sold and plates have been turned in. If the owner of the vehicle is deceased and the ticket was on the plates themselves, what happens if no one shows to the trial? I'm wondering specifically if the estate will be responsible for the ticket or if they would attempt to find out my info and reissue the ticket to me. I honestly can't remember if I handed my drivers license to the officer or if he took down any info on me. Can someone advise what happens to parking tickets if the plates have been returned and the owner is deceased? I just don't want the family stuck with a fine...

They ticket was issued to the owner of the vehicle, so your father in law will be listed as the defendant in this matter. Since he has passed away I don't think there is anything they can really do to collect the fine. That having been said, I would still have the executor of the estate attend court with a copy of the death certificate. He can present it to the prosecutor before trial at which point they will most likely withdraw the charge. This will make sure you don't have a collection agency calling up and harassing your family a year from now looking to collect money from someone who has passed away. While I don't think the estate would owe any money it is probably better to get everything sorted out now then to wait for it to go to collections.

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
